MP3 REVIEW: L.V. Morris “Minor Defeats” (Rocket Machine)

This
L.V. Morris cassette (Though I’m listening to it as MP3s because, you know,
Australia and being sold out and all) begins with drone but then has some ghost
in the machine type screams as well. It
has this haunting whirring type of sound that just has me listening and not
wanting it to end. There is a door
swinging open in the breeze and I come to the conclusion that this could be a
ghost filled hurricane or tornado.

Someone
call Roger Corman. I have his next movie
idea. GHOSTNADO!

The
second track, which would be Side B, has more of a nautical beeping, like a
submarine and it makes me feel as if someone is lost at sea. This makes me question as to whether or not
perhaps Side A was a storm taking place over the water as opposed to on
land.

Through
the static and soft or distant banging and audio clips, this is one of my
favorite cassettes released by Rocket Machine (Which says a lot, because Rocket
Machine just keeps cranking out the hits) even though I, sadly, do not own any
Rocket Machine cassettes myself. One day
I’ll put all these MP3s onto cassette, but until then, download this and love it
as much as I do.
